Australia is set to roll out vaccines against the H5 bird flu for its native bird species, with a focus on animals in captivity. The move comes as the latest strain of the deadly virus continues to spread across the country.
Targeted trials of the vaccine have already been conducted, and efforts are now underway to expand the vaccination program. The initiative aims to protect Australia’s native bird population from the bird flu outbreak.
Further details on the vaccination program, including its scope and timeline, are not immediately available. However, the rollout is expected to prioritize native birds in captivity, with the goal of preventing the spread of the disease among these vulnerable populations.
